Important Information - Please Read Before Use

WARNING • Although the illumination light emitted from the endoscope’s distal end is required for endoscopic observation, it may also cause alteration of living tissues such as protein denaturation of living tissue and perforation of the tissue by inappropriate using. Observe the following warnings for illumination.  Always set the minimum required brightness. The brightness of the image on a monitor may differ from the actual brightness at the distal end of the endoscope. Pay special attention to the brightness level setting of the light source, particularly when operating the electrical shutter function of a video system center. When both a light source and a video system center have the automatic brightness control function, use the function on the light source. This function can better maintain the illumination level. Refer to the instruction manual for the light source and the video system center for further details.  Always maintain a suitable distance necessary for adequate viewing while using the minimum level of illumination for the minimum amount of time. Do not use close stationary viewing or leave the distal end of the endoscope close to the mucous membrane for a long time without necessity.  When the endoscope will not be used for a long period, be sure to turn OFF the light source or activate the light shield function (standby mode, etc.) so that the endoscope is not illuminated unnecessarily. • Push the video connector into the video system center until it clicks, then confirm that the video connector is securely attached by pulling it gently. Improper connection will damage the image sensor. The damaged image sensor will display no image and make the distal end hot, which could cause operator and/or patient burns. • Do not insert the video connector while the electrical contacts are wet and/or dirty. This may result in an electric shock, causing severe damage to the endoscope and compromising patient and/or operator safety. • If the endoscopic image becomes dimmer during the procedure, it may indicate that blood or mucus is adhering to the examination light outlet on the distal end of the endoscope. Carefully withdraw the endoscope from the patient and remove blood or mucus to restore optimum illumination and to ensure the safety of the examination. If you continue to use the endoscope with its obstructed examination light outlet, the temperature at the distal end may rise and cause mucosal burns to the patient. It may also cause patient and/or operator injury. • When the endoscopic image does not appear on the monitor, the image sensor may have been damaged. Turn the video system center OFF immediately. Continued power supply in such a case will cause the distal end to become hot and could cause operator and/or patient burns. • Do not rely on the NBI observation mode alone for primary detection of lesions to make a decision regarding any potential diagnostic or therapeutic intervention.

Important Information - Please Read Before Use

WARNING • The shape and size of the nasal cavity and its suitability for transnasal insertion may vary from patient to patient. No endoscope, including this one, can always be inserted transnasally into all patients. Before proceeding, always be sure to confirm that transnasal insertion is possible with the patient by considering both the size of the patient’s nasal cavity as well as the size of the endoscope’s insertion section. Otherwise, patient injury can result or the endoscope could become lodged and difficult to withdraw. • Transnasal insertion is accompanied by the risk of inflammation of the nasal cavity. If this happens, the nasal passage will be constricted, making it more difficult to withdraw the endoscope. In this case, do not use force to withdraw the endoscope because patient injury, bleeding, and/or perforation may result. • Transnasal insertion is accompanied by the risk of bleeding in the nasal cavity. Be sure to be prepared to deal with any bleeding. When withdrawing the endoscope, observe the inside of the nasal cavity to ensure that there is no bleeding. Even when the endoscope has been withdrawn without bleeding, do not allow the patient to blow his or her nose strongly because this could cause it to start bleeding. • Before transnasal insertion, apply the appropriate pretreatment and lubrication to the patient to enlarge the nasal cavity. Otherwise, patient injury can result or the endoscope could become lodged and difficult to withdraw. When applying a pretreatment agent through a tube, insert the tube into the same path as the path planned for the endoscope’s insertion. Otherwise, the treatment will have no effect. The effects of the pretreatment agent and lubricant will decrease the longer the procedure lasts. Apply the pretreatment agent or lubricant as required during the procedure – for example, when withdrawal seems to be difficult. • Transnasal insertion of the endoscope should be performed carefully. If resistance to insertion is felt, or the patient reports pain, stop the insertion immediately. Patient injury can result or the endoscope could become lodged and difficult to withdraw. • If it becomes impossible to withdraw the transnasally inserted endoscope, pull its distal end out of the mouth, cut the flexible tube using wire cutters, and after ensuring that the cut section will not injure the body cavity or nasal cavity of the patient, withdraw the endoscope carefully. Therefore, always prepare wire cutters in advance. • When performing the NBI observation of an oral cavity, cut off the extraneous light as much as possible, such as dimming the room light. Otherwise, the examination might not be done properly. • When using the image magnification function of the video system center, never insert or withdraw the endoscope’s insertion section or use EndoTherapy accessories while the image is magnified. Patient injury, bleeding, and/or perforation can result.

WARNING • Do not use high-frequency electrosurgical equipment with this endoscope. The electrode of the electrosurgical equipment can get in contact with the endoscope, and it may cause patient injury, burns, bleeding, perforations, and/or equipment damage.

CAUTION • Do not pull the universal cord and video cable during an examination. The light guide connector will be pulled out from the output socket of the light source and the endoscopic image will not be visible. • Do not coil the insertion tube, universal cord, or video cable with a diameter of less than 10 cm. Equipment damage may result. • Do not attempt to bend or twist the endoscope’s insertion section with excessive force. The insertion section may be damaged. • Do not apply shock to the distal end of the insertion section, particularly the objective lens surface at the distal end. Visual abnormalities may result. • When the endoscope is dropped or the distal end of the endoscope receives a hard impact, the endoscope may be damaged even if no visible damage of the lens on the distal end can be found. In this case, stop using the endoscope, and contact Olympus. • Do not twist or bend the bending section with your hands. Equipment damage may result. • Do not squeeze the bending section forcefully. The covering of the bending section may stretch or break and cause water leaks. • Do not put or press the video connector and light guide connector on the insertion section when transporting or reprocessing. The insertion section may be damaged. • Turn the video system center ON only when the video connector is connected to the video system center. In particular, confirm that the video system center is OFF before connecting or disconnecting the video connector. Failure to do so can result in equipment damage, including destruction of the image sensor. • The endoscope’s remote switches cannot be removed from the control section. Pressing, pulling, or twisting them with excessive force can break the switches and/or cause water leaks. • Do not hit or bend the electrical contacts on the video connector. The connection to the video system center may be impaired and faulty contact can result. • Do not pull the video cable during an examination. The endoscopic image may not be visible.

Important Information - Please Read Before Use

 Examples of inappropriate handling Details on clinical endoscopic technique are the responsibility of trained specialists. Patient safety in endoscopic examinations and endoscopic treatment can be ensured through appropriate handling by the physician and the medical facility. Examples of inappropriate handling are described below. • The endoscope has not been designed for use in retroflexed observation. Performing retroflexed observation in a narrow lumen may make it impossible to straighten the angle of the bending section and/or withdraw the endoscope from the patient. Retroflexed observation should be performed only when the usefulness of doing so is determined to be greater than the risk that is posed to the patient. • Inserting or withdrawing the endoscope, or operating the bending section without a clear endoscopic image may cause patient injury, bleeding, and/or perforation. • For reasons described below, do not rely on the NBI*1 observation mode alone for primary detection of lesions to make a decision regarding any potential diagnostic or therapeutic intervention.  NBI has not been demonstrated to increase the yield or sensitivity of finding any specific mucosal lesion.  NBI has not been demonstrated to aid in differentiating and establishing the presence or absence of dysplasia or neoplastic changes within mucosa or mucosal lesions. *1
